Ukoen has a population between 10,000 and 10 million sophonts, lacking the industrial base to be completely self-supporting. It is a member of Julian Protectorate in the Flange Subsector of Empty Quarter Sector and in the Hegemony of Lorean. 100% of the world's population is the Major Race Vargr.

History and Background

Most of the Irilitok inhabitants of this world reside in a single advanced settlement, hugging a deep ledge on a huge mountain high above the planetary surface. These Vargr are quite friendly to visitors, and are always ready to trade. Their relationship to the humanist Hegemony is rather complicated, but rewarding enough (to the right people) for the local Hegemonio masters to permit the Ukoenz Irilitok to build their wealth in peace. For most Travellers, this is one of the better places to reside.

Demographics and Culture

The entirety of the population of Ukoen lives in the city of Ukoen, near the summit of the awesome bulk of Mount Ksikir. The world is exceptionally large, with a crushing, dense atmosphere. The high-tech Vargr who have managed to settle the world have carved out a place for themselves on a mountain ridge, where the air is thin enough to breathe. The residents enjoy a mix of low-tech character and high-tech convenience, and -- despite being officially non-persons in the eyes of the humanist Hegemony -- live much more comfortably than the humans of the quadrant.
